I have a blog??

Yes, I do! What is my world coming to? As usual, I am dragged kicking and screaming into another application of Modern Technology.

It's very strange that in my Professional Life I embrace every new advance, but in my Personal and Private life I continue to resist. Social Networking of all kinds is utterly foreign to me. So Why am I blogging?

It all started with Zentangle ®, an incredible "meditative artform" that I discovered about 11 months ago. (I'll add a post about my Zentangle Journey later.)

More immediately, I must place the blame for this Blog on Laura Harms and her Weekly Challenges. I've been having a lot of fun creating Zentangles for these challenges, but was finding that I wanted to be able to add comments or "explain myself" as I posted these. For example, the Week One Challenge on Dec 20, was called "Simplicity." Now I almost immediately knew where I wanted to go with this, but it was Christmas Week, and I didn't get my tile completed.

So, here's my version of Simplicity:

I used a single tangle pattern: Cadent, and 4 different pens: Sakura Pigma Micron 005,01,05, and 08.
